Growing consumer preference for better quality products and change in regulations across different industries including oil and gas, pharmaceutical, and food and agriculture among others, are mainly encouraging the companies to adopt process analytical technologies. These factors are driving the market for process spectroscopy instruments and solutions. Additionally, the ability of process spectroscopy technologies to provide accurate results in less time encourages several manufacturing companies to adopt these technologies. Further, as the use of process spectroscopy results into quality check at every stage of production, it reduces the cost of rework and scrap for manufacturing companies, hence save inventory cost of the company. High capital investment in developing and maintaining spectroscopes is one of the prominent factors restraining the growth of this market. Furthermore, the introduction of portable and handheld devices with wireless connectivity to computers offers potential opportunities for the market.

Near infrared (NIR) process spectroscopy led the global process spectroscopy market with highest revenue share in 2012. This is due the compatibility of NIR with product manufacturing process in industries such as oil and gas, pharmaceutical, food and agriculture, chemicals and others. However, Raman spectroscopy is expected to grow at faster rate owing to the growing adoption of this technology in pharmaceutical and food and agriculture industry. Due to non-destructive nature of Raman spectroscopy, it leaves no change in the chemical structure of the products during the process analysis. Further, due to convergence capability of FT-IR with both Raman and NIR, it is expected that the demand for process spectroscopy will increase over the forecast period.

In 2012, North America held the largest market share and accounted for 48.6% of the global process spectroscopy market. This was due to the presence of large players such as Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc., Bruker Corporation and Agilent Technologies Inc. among others in the region. The Asia Pacific region is expected to be the fastest growing regional market for process spectroscopy owing to the rise in number of manufacturing plants of different companies across this region. In addition, Asia-Pacific is the fastest growing region for process spectroscopy with major contribution from countries such as Japan, China and India. Japan is among the major contributors in the process spectroscopy market with companies such as HORIBA Limited, Kett Electric Laboratory, Yokogawa Electric Corporation, and Shimadzu Corporation dominating the market.

The global market for process spectroscopy was dominated by leading players, those accounted for more than 40% share in 2012 of the total process spectroscopy market. Some of the leading players in this market include Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc., Bruker Corporation, Buchi Labortechnik AG, Foss A/S, Danaher Corporation, Shimadzu Corporation, Yokogawa Electric Corporation, Sartorius AG, Kett Electric Laboratory, Horiba Limited and ABB Limited among others. The competitive rivalry among these companies is high and is expected to remain same over the forecast period.
